The only way Kampman stays a Packer is if 4-3 teams are scared off by the injury.
Otherwise, I think we Packer fans are engaging in wishful thinking.
Because I find it hard to imagine Ted Thompson paying 4-3 DE money to a 3-4 linebacker with questions.

Not at all. I think Kampman is going to get a big offer from someone other than GB. And I don't think Ted Thompson is going to be in the ballpark.
Now I might be underestimating what Ted is willing to pay because I think *he's* going to look at Kampman as having questions.
I think a lot of Packer fans are hoping that the "injury question" will keep Kampman's numbers down far enough for the Packers to be able to keep him. But I think they're dreaming. Kampman's going to get someone willing to pay top 4-3 DE bucks on a multiyear deal.
If the Packers only offer a one year deal, he'll be gone.
If the Packers only offer an incentives-laden deal, he'll be gone.
If the Packers expect any significant "home team discount," he'll be gone.
If the Packers don't offer him a deal that pays him top 4-3 DE bucks, he'll be gone.
Kampman's too smart to do otherwise.
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
